Exclusive Interview With Negru of Negura Bunget
Negura Bunget is a deep band. They mold black metal with progressive and folk elements that make them avant garde leaders in the underground. Recently, Negru, the band’s percussionist, answered a few questions for me, and his answers are every bit as deep, and meaningful as the music he helps create. While not many questions [...]
